| Tori Sparks and Row House Records Unite Under Charity Auction Row House Records was proud to be the high bidder in the Feed Your Soul Guitar Auction. The folk art guitar was exhibited by rock and blues artist Tori Sparks while on her 27-city tour of the Northeastern United States. Bids were accepted online during the tour, and 100% of the auction proceeds went to benefit Oxfam America following the close of the auction. Called "brilliantly decorated" by the Village Voice, and "outstanding" by Northeast InTune Magazine, The Feed Your Soul Guitar has attracted attention for its visual impact as well as for its message. Tori Sparks has become known for her smoky voice and story-teller antics onstage, as well as for her commitment to bringing attention to organizations like Oxfam, the One Campaign, and others. Her debut music video Rivers + Roads was recently chosen Best Pop Video at the Indie Gathering, and her as-yet unreleased song "The Poster Child" was a finalist in the 2006 Unisong International Songwriting Contest. News Channel 2 in Nashville captured Sparks on tape stating that this was only the first in a series of Feed Your Soul Guitar auctions. She plans to create and exhibit a second Feed Your Soul Guitar on her next major tour in 2007, and to continue raising awareness of organizations like Oxfam. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
